Runners will start at Alpine Marina and go north along the Shore Path, until they hit a large climb, which will take them up to the Long Path. At the top of the climb runners will head South and will take the Long Path for the next 8 miles before dropping back down the River just before the Ross Dock Picnic area.
Additional Half Marathon Information
We will continue to share additional information about the race here in the coming weeks. In the meantime if you have any questions, please email cooper@trialsofmilesracing.com.
-
Runners are required to be off of the trails by 8:30pm (the approximate time of sunset). Accordingly, runners will have 3 1/2 hours to complete the half marathon distance. Please note that because this race is on trails, runners should assume this race may take them 30+ minutes longer than a typical half marathon would take them on the roads.
-
All half marathon runners are required to take the bus from Ross Dock (where the race finishes) to the starting line at Alpine Marina. We do not want cars parking at Alpine Marina! All runners must meet at Ross Dock, where they must be checked-in for the race before 4pm. Buses will leave around 4:15pm.
